Pixie is a lap cat and she is very demanding of attention but my rb kitty, Tavia, wanted to lay beside me and she only wanted to be loved when it suited her and never liked being picked up where as Pixie loves to be held and she will crawl up on my shoulders if I let her. And Tavia would come when I called to her if it suited her where as Pixie almost always comes when I call her unless she is downstairs and is busy with her bathroom. Tavia was selective though she only wanted me and at times my dad but Pixie she will let almost anyone pet her. Tavia would open those claws on you if you was a stranger and she didn't want you.
Which it might be the differences in the breeds but Tavia was a dsh and Pixie is an American bobtail and they are said to be extremely loving cats but I just think its interesting how cats are like people each one is different and you can't always go by the breed standard. MY mom had a persian that was pure out right evil at times and she used to attack moms two siamese cats she would lay in wait for them. And the smallest siamese was such a sweet girl. Their momma cat was a whole other story she attacked the neighbors german shepard and sent the dog running.
